Mini Biography
Born in 1962. Probably best known as "The Undertaker"
from the WWF. He first came to the WWF in 1990 as
Ted DiBiases mystery partner at The Survivor Series.
At first he was a heel, but he later turned face, around
Wrestlemania VIII. He has held the WWF World Title on
two separate occasions, first at the 1991 Survivor Series
(dubbed "Hulk Hogan's Gravest Challenge"), from then
champion, Hulk Hogan. Hogan won the title back
shortly thereafter, only to be stripped of the title due
to the circumstances by which he won the match.
Undertaker next won the title at Wrestlemania XIII
from the Sycho Sid.

Mini Biography
Mark William Calaway is an American professional
wrestler, better known by his ring name The
Undertaker. He is signed to World Wrestling
Entertainment (WWE), currently wrestling on the
SmackDown brand.
Calaway began his wrestling career with World Class
Championship Wrestling in 1984. He joined World
Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1989. When WCW did
not renew Calaway's contract in 1990, he joined the
World Wrestling Federation (which later became World
Wrestling Entertainment in 2002) as The Undertaker in
November of that year. Having remained with that
company ever since, Calaway is currently one of the
senior performers in WWE. He is one of only two
wrestlers (the other being Shawn Michaels) to have
appeared on the very first episode of Raw who are still
with the company today.
Calaway's Undertaker character has two contrasting
gimmicks which are the Deadman and the American
Bad Ass. The Undertaker is undefeated at
WrestleMania with a 18-0 record and is a six time world
champion (four time WWE Champion and two time
World Heavyweight Champion). He was also the winner
of the 2007 Royal Rumble in which he became the first
man to win the Rumble starting at number 30.
